Hardcore.

A proper "batteries not included" minute.

Looks, good, Mate.

Firstly . . what stonechip stuff did you use on the inner fenders and,

Secondly . . . When are you starting the Caddy ?

art b · « **Reply #45 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:20:10 am »

some b4 and after,

Roadkill · « **Reply #46 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:21:05 am »

Ah, also, are they proper rear quarter patch pieces or home-made jobbies ?

I ask as Chris' Duster is well rotten in those areas so see myself having to tackle those in the future.

art b · « **Reply #47 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:30:53 am »

proper panels shipped by our man who can,carl....

then cut to suit the bits i needed, plenty of spare for other parts..

i think they were $50 ea plus shippin etc, makin em wasnt really an option

art b · « **Reply #48 on:** October 31, 2007, 08:34:45 am »

amaszing how many rough bits ya get free with a 34 year old car....

Roadkill · « **Reply #49 on:** October 31, 2007, 09:41:42 am »

Impressive how chris's has rusted in exactly the same places . . . albeit a little worse.

Have you "cheated" there and welded a strip to the back of the new panel to help locate it on the old ? (third from last pic).
